The 20th annual TechEd Europe has found its way to the vibrant bustling city of Amsterdam! What&#39;s even more awesome though is that this is my first time at TechEd!</p>
<p>Brad Anderson delivered the day&#39;s first keynote, also mentioning that Microsoft has <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-18587600" target="_blank">acquired</a> the office social networking site Yammer last night. A lot of the main focus was on the new era of the cloud and the new Operating System - Windows Server 2012.&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://wmug.co.uk/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-01-14-peektuurs/5734.2.JPG"><img src="http://wmug.co.uk/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-01-14-peektuurs/5734.2.JPG" border="0" alt=" " /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>With that, a&nbsp;demonstration&nbsp;was then conducted to show Hyper-V 3.0 in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V performing more than a million IOPS per second on a single virtual machine. Things that were mentioned with regards to Hyper-V 3.0 and Server 2012 were amazing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Server 2012 supports:</p>
<ul>
<li>320 logical processors</li>
<li>4TB of memory.</li>
</ul>
<p>With Virtualisation, it can support:</p>
<ul>
<li>64 virtual processors</li>
<li>1TB memory per virtual machine.</li>
</ul>
<p>In a speed demonstration, a 10GB file was moved in seconds&nbsp;using Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V&nbsp;with a new feature that is called offloaded data transfer (ODX), which leverages native SAN capabilities within an array. That blew most of us away as the native copy was still struggling to complete even though it had a good head start!</p>
<p><a href="http://wmug.co.uk/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-01-14-peektuurs/7382.3.JPG"><img src="http://wmug.co.uk/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-01-14-peektuurs/7382.3.JPG" border="0" alt=" " /></a></p>
<p>After that, it was down to some lab work in a workshop with Wally: Migrating Configuration Manager 2007 to the new version 2012. Wally covered all the main considerations even though he had the sun in his face, and had the fire escape door alarm go off towards the end of the session. It was a pleasure to meet him in person finally!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Attended other random seminars throughout the day and by the end of it, I was totally&nbsp;immersed&nbsp;into the whole idea of TechEd. Information sharing, networking, learning, discovering with fellow professionals.</p>
<p>This sums up on a high level what I&#39;ve seen so far, but stay tuned for more!&nbsp;</p>
<p>And I leave you all with this...</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-034">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-034</a></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;It appears that the following behaviour is experienced when you perform a manual installation of MS12-034 for Silverlight:</p>
<ul>
<li>The critical update KB2636927 updates and patches all Silverlight 5 instances to 5.1.10411.0</li>
<li>The critical update KB2690729 updates and patches all Silverlight 4 instances to 4.1.10329</li>
</ul>
<p>However, in WSUS, one observes this:</p>
<ul>
<li>The critical update KB2636927 updates and patches all Silverlight instances&nbsp;as 1 entity (All versions) to 5.1.10411.0</li>
<li>The critical update KB2690729 is not available in WSUS. </li>
<li>On the MS12-034 security bulletin <a target="_blank" href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-034">page</a>, you will read that KB2690729 in MS12-034 is replaced by KB2636927.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;<img height="559" width="948" src="http://wmug.co.uk/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-07-metablogapi/silverlight.JPG" alt="" /></p>
<p>This then means that any systems with Silverlight managed by WSUS would ultimately still need KB2636927, as it gets evaluated as still needing that since the &#39;older&#39; KB2636927 has already been replaced. That might&nbsp;then suggest why there is only 1 &#39;version&#39; of Silverlight in SUP/WSUS. Therefore, do not be too alarmed if all systems with Silverlight 4 or below are upgraded to 5 after the application of May&#39;s security bundle via Configmgr! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://wmug.co.uk/aggbug?PostID=4382&AppID=114&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">kb2690729kb2636927SCCM 2007SilverlightMS12-034security bulletinConfigMgr 2007System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SDK (Prerelease)http://wmug.co.uk/wmug/b/orientalcrusher/archive/2012/04/18/system-center-2012-configuration-manager-sdk-prereleaseWed, 18 Apr 2012 10:04:00 GMT10c3822e-6a55-4a1a-8d52-5181c69a645b:22d00d05-c106-4611-830d-3b3d39cd9775Lionel1http://wmug.co.uk/wmug/b/orientalcrusher/rsscomments?WeblogPostID=4360http://wmug.co.uk/wmug/b/orientalcrusher/archive/2012/04/18/system-center-2012-configuration-manager-sdk-prerelease#comments<p>For all of those interested, the ConfigMgr 2012 SDK is now available! </p>

<p>I&#39;ve been silent a long while as a lot of things happened between&nbsp;August and now. Computer failing on me, internet problems at home and&nbsp;travels and holidays and all those madness in getting a new box to replace the failed one. I hope to get back on track with all the exciting CM2012 information we have obtained over the last few weeks with RC1. Also, on another note, we&#39;ve managed to get&nbsp;Windows 8&#39;s Developer Preview onto a tablet. W8&#39;s something refreshing and chanced upon the following article on the MSDN Blog. It&#39;s worth a definite read as it speaks of the sentimental history in the tool we call Windows Task Manager. Windows 3.0 till Metro!&nbsp;Right, at least I enjoyed it! :) </p>
<p>A few of the features I like</p>
<ul>
<li>Clean basic view with only the primary processes</li>
<li>Heat Map</li>
<li>New Grouping</li>
</ul>
<p>Can be more but this is a good direction!</p>

<p>I must apologise first for not posting as much as I would have like to over the last few weeks. My Asus RoG Laptop went silent 2 weeks ago. It has to be sent back to Singapore for some urgent repairs and hopefully it wakes up again... In the meantime, here&#39;s a photo I found in my old XP AM2 system that I&#39;m currently using. (Yes, Rob, it is XP, Windows XP...)</p>
<p>This was taken years back while working on a project in Indonesia. Yes, you see a Thales Security Appliance on top of a fridge. No need to guess where I was then, and yes I was in the kitchen that was converted into a make shift data centre of sorts...&nbsp;</p>

I&#39;ve done a quick and simple summary.&nbsp;Some interesting statistics to note is that for the first 7 months of 2011, 56 bulletins were released. In the same period last year, that was 43, so just an increase of...13 bulletins!</p>

<p>After the installation of the security update, several&nbsp;windows&nbsp;adminstrators&nbsp;have&nbsp;noticed entries into event&nbsp;viewer that indicate&nbsp;that a&nbsp;SideBySide error has occured for conhost.exe whenever&nbsp;the&nbsp;command prompt window is opened. This only occurs on Windows 7&nbsp;and Windows Server 2008 R2. Although it may appear to flood the event viewer&nbsp;with multiple error 33s especially on servers utilising the command prompt, Microsoft has informed that this error does not affect the command prompt window functionality and can be ignored. Upgrading to Windows 7 SP1 is also a potential option if the situation permits.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE - 18 August 2011</strong></p>
<p>This is now resolved by Microsoft when applying the August Security updates. The patch that fixes this is below:</p>

Although Configmgr will install happily with these names, it is recommended to avoid using these Windows reserved names. There are many other combinations you can use anyway :) </p>
